project Barrel

[hmangphilly]

There's a bit of controversy involved but yup - it's the new 16mm choked / hammer forged CZ barrel. I haven't actually fitted it yet, but I have high hopes. I thought it was worth a risk to buy one anyway.

What are you putting it on Brian ?

Can you get us a couple

It's being machined to fit on the 9015, but I've been a bit slow getting it done because the standard barrel is shooting so well. In fact it's the most accurate airgun I've ever owned. Bit of a dilemma really, but fortunately it's so easy to swap out a barrel on the anni, once it's machined up to fit I can give it a test.

Just drop Matt at Sureshot a line if you want to test one.

So i guess the CZ potentially the best option , as you have one

what sort of dimensions do you think you need nick ?

is it a tx based project ?
theres a member on here with a (probably ) pro sport barrel available

it's on a "can you identify this " thread ...i thought tx , std length ,mk 3....turns out most likely... not mk3 , not std length and not even tx ....


from what brian says , it sounds like a std 9015 barrel might not be the worst choice in the world

we need to get over to germany and buy up all the basket case target rifles . should be some quality barrels there

Its a TX based project rifle , I don't want to give too much away as I haven't got it finished yet , I will post about it once I have it finished. I contacted the chap about the mystery barrel and its a short one , I need full length at least , I would like opinions on barrel length as I haven't got much experience in that department, can you go too long ? is there an optimal length for a springer , I will probably stick to full tx length so I can use it in other actions though.

So been looking at the s200 barrel on Knibbs web site , is it definitely the CZ barrel ?

[hmangphilly]

It's been a while since I had any s200 barrels ,
But pretty sure there was some labelling to indicate cz origin.

Done a few for tx now although the 15 mm dia gives less of a shoulder than the 16 would,

Concentricity has been pretty good too on most .
They seem tightish in the bore so might need a polish.

As a finished s200 barrel it would need post to rod or collect .
I asked them To chop a 1/2" off the breech so it didn't fit s200 any more

Got no evidence whatsoever and again can't remember why but had strong ideas that these go onto some isp guns

Lately been using v shArp hss to machine to avoid galling more visible under magnification
